GUATEMALA: ARÉVALO IS INAUGURATED

An atmosphere of joy and celebration on the streets of Guatemala City
briefly gave way to anger. Earlier in the day, live music played
across Guatemala City’s historic centre, as thousands of people
travelled from across the country, with some sleeping in the plaza the
night before, to witness the swearing-in. It was delayed for hours by
conservatives in Congress.

In Balochistan, hundreds of women whose husbands, brothers, and sons
have disappeared have taken to the streets, marching 1,600 kilometers
from the southern Kech district near the Iranian border to Islamabad,
the capital of Pakistan. Their demands: an end to enforced
disappearances and extrajudicial killings, and accountability of those
involved in extrajudicial killings of Baloch youth.

After a series of internal conflicts in the Syriza progressive party,
a new party has emerged in Greece. “Nea Aristera” (Νέα
Αριστερά), meaning “New Left,” is led by Alexis Haritsis
and ten other MPs. According to the members, the party was created
with the aspirations of establishing a renewed, progressive, appealing
left.

Dozens of Sudanese activists who have been arrested and tortured in
ghost houses by military intelligence in recent weeks, even as the
Rapid Support Forces threatens to defeat the army and capture all of
Sudan. Many of those being detained are members of the resistance
committees, which played an instrumental role in organising mass
protests against the former President in April 2019.

Maria Andreeva is one of the unofficial leaders of a newly emerging
grassroots movement that has been gaining momentum in Russia. They
are the wives and mothers of some of the 300,000 Russian men who
were conscripted in September 2022. More than a year later, many
women are staging public protests and writing open letters taking
issue with the official narrative of the war in Ukraine.

ANALYSIS AND ACTION

_Stefan Christoff_ / rabble.ca (Toronto)
Today waves of progressive political analysis online are often shared
without relational exchange to the local community work at the heart
of politics. A disconnection between individual voices online and
grassroots collective work on the ground leaves little space for
accountability and dialogue between commentators and activist
movements.
